Furey. "Under Peter's leadership, the success of our Real Estate practice continues to help propel the firm's growth strategy in the UK."

The firm's Real Estate practice was praised for its experience in "all types" of real-estate transactions, including finance, investment, development and joint venture matters including the hospitality and leisure sector. The team, praised for being "very attentive" and for its "pragmatic, flexible approach," was also noted for advising on corporate structured property transactions.

Mr Needham-Laing, who spearheads the firm's Construction and Engineering group in the UK, is ranked in the "Construction: London" category. He was commended for being "sought after for his contentious and non-contentious expertise in relation to a range of construction projects, including sizeable infrastructure schemes."
